Stippled Memories and Light
A detailed black and white image featuring an extreme close-up of an elderly African-American woman’s face in a stippled style. Her parchment-like skin is inscribed with faint ink patterns representing spiritual songs, prayers, and oral traditions. Her eyes have a gentle glow, containing traces of quilting circles, storytelling by candlelight, and folded hands in prayer. The background is a sacred space of shadow, mist, and light, with ancestral silhouettes and symbolic patterns that evoke memory, reverence, and continuity.
